Benefits of technology

Embodiments of the patent provide a method and system for controlling indoor autonomous robots that can process autonomous driving instructions based on data from individual service robots. This can significantly reduce the manufacturing cost of service robots and allow multiple service robots to efficiently share and process desired services within a single facility. The method involves generating indoor maps of facilities and localizing and planning the path of service robots, all while communicating with them through a cloud service. The result data is then provided to the robots. This system can help to improve the efficiency and flexibility of service robotics in various settings.

Problems solved by technology

Since various components are required for close connection, relatively great cost may be required to manufacture an indoor autonomous robot.

Abstract

A method and system for controlling an indoor autonomous robot. A method of controlling an indoor autonomous driving of a robot in a cloud system includes receiving, by the cloud system, first sensing data that is generated by a mapping robot autonomously driving in a target facility using a first sensor that detects the first sensing data with respect to an inside of the target facility; generating an indoor map of the target facility based on the first sensing data; receiving, from a service robot present in the target facility through a network, second sensing data that is generated by the service robot using a second sensor that detects the second sensing data with respect to the inside of the target facility; and controlling an indoor autonomous driving of the service robot with respect to the target facility based on the second sensing data and the generated indoor map.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION(S)[0001]This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119 to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2016-0137713 filed on Oct. 21, 2016, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUNDField[0002]One or more example embodiments relate to a method and system for controlling an indoor autonomous robot.Description of Related Art[0003]An autonomous robot is a robot that determines an optimal path to a destination using wheels or legs while looking around and detecting obstacles by itself. Autonomous robots have been developed and utilized for various fields, such as autonomous vehicles, logistics, hotel services, and robot cleaners. For example, Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2005-0024840 relates to a path planning method for an autonomous mobile robot, and discloses a method of planning an optimal path through which an autonomously mobile robot may safely and ...
